I've been meaning to ask you, Linda - what lens do you use? I don't often ask that of people, and don't mean to pry. I've just love your photos and have been curious on many occasions. :)We hope to explore as far south as San Luis Obispo when we fly into San Fransisco next month.I'm excited for you and your summer plans, the Oregon Coast is my favorite! Sounds wonderful.

Hi Linda! Lovely shots! The Blue Heron is an amazing bird to watch isn't it? I can still remember picking my jaw off of the ground when I walked out on our deck and saw one on the neighbor's roof! He even came back the next day...posed for a few shots, then flew off with those large lovely wings! Great random 5!

Morning Glories are so beautiful with their bold color and delicate flower! The little finch are too cute and I love the one of the Heron!! Only 3 hours from Portland, you are a lucky girl!my friend! Looks like there is going to be some Gramma time coming up :)

LOL I already knew where you were headed when you said you were going north. Morning glories are a fave of mine from childhood. They're so free spirited just popping up wherever. Great snaps of the heron too. Safe travels! Hugs!

Fabulous photo's as always, Linda, I do love Morning Glories! Wish I had some here! Love the birds as well...so great you are getting closer to your daughter and that cute grandson! Haven't seen photo's of him in a while! Happy camping! Hugs from Texas!

Morning glory is one of my favorite vines. I still remember them from when I was a kid and one was wrapped around our mailbox. Beautiful CA post and now you are in my last residence south of SLO, in Arroyo Grande. Best downtown coffee shop there on main street. Wonderful cinnamon buns homemade.

Ooh, San Luis Obispo!! It's so pretty there! I do hope you are enjoying yourself! Love that you are working your way up the coast, on your way to Oregon. What a fabulous trip. And LOVE your gorgeous "fence" photos. The morning glories are so sweet, and I love your bird shots. We get some Great Blue Herons here and they always fill me with awe! TFS, and have a great weekend!

Oh the birds are so lovely, Linda! How fun to spend the summer in OR and so close to those special Portland people! We are going there again end of April, via the big bird in the sky! I so want to do a road trip one day! Enjoy the weekend! Hugs!

Where on the OR coast are you hosting? - The towns are small but they are close together. Florence is fairly good sized though so you shouldn't have a problem shopping depending on where you are at.Yep Portland is close by but still a bit of a drive.

That Heron is a beauty and that wing span is pretty impressive. Isn't it nice to have Nancy back? Oregon is one place we are considering retiring to. Frankie and I may try to get up there over spring break. Happy travels!

Wonderful shots ... all things I love ... Morning Glories and birds .. especially the great blue .. magnificent. You'll do fine in your hosting job ... nice and close to the grand ... close but not too close! Ha! Happy Friday!

Morning glories are...glorious! I'm wondering now where your hosting will be? I loved many of the beach towns in Oregon when we did the coast a few years ago. Yachats was so beautiful with its tide pools and water spouts coming up from the rocks. Of course, we liked visiting Portland and vicinity, too. Keep enjoying your trip!

Beautiful shots of the morning glories!! So glad you are making your way up the coast. The Oregon gig sounds amazing. A little jealous that you will be getting to Portland before me. I'm going in Sept. and can hardly wait to see my daughter!

Hey, Linda... I'm stopping back again to tell you thanks for your lovely comment and to remind you that you're the one who got me started into art journaling several years back. Thanks, my friend! Your journaling was always an inspiration!Have a fabulous week!
